### 2/5 — Cute app but no sound?

*2018-08-24, version 1.4*

My daughter loves the paper version of this book. It is fun to see the characters come to life when you tap on the screen. Unfortunately it doesn’t make any sounds when you choose the big guy setting. I expected it to read the story too but it is not working.

My 3 year old loves this book so when I saw the app version I had to get it. She laughs uncontrollably at every page, the interactions are great!! Brilliant app for kids!!

### 3/5 — Sound doesn't work

*2015-08-30, version 1.3*

Not much fun when the sound doesn't work. And it's not my ipad.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-06-04, version 1.3*

This app is so much fun. I'm a speech pathologist and have used the app (and the book) with my students. The pictures are cute without being overdone, and the words and rhythm are engaging.  Definitely worth the money.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No sound!

*2024-07-30*

There is no sound and no way to fix it! Love these books but the whole point is for them to entertain kiddos who can’t read yet.

### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work

*2021-01-16*

The visuals are wonderful, but no sound? Please fix or refund.

### 1/5 — No sound on this one either

*2020-06-13*

Everything in this bundle except But Not The Hippopotamus lost sound after a few months. The sound is working for the other apps on the device, so this is definitely a software bug. Until it is fixed you should not buy this.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2018-07-16*

No sound on this app.

**Developer response:** Hi StephP82x, sorry you're having problems with the sound. Please contact us at support@loudcrow.com so we can assist you with the issue.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2018-07-02*

Do not buy, there is no fix if you buy it and do not have sound.  Too bad, good books but does not work well on my iPad 2.  No sound, tried loading, reloading, etc.  no tech support, no refund.

**Developer response:** Hi #604, sorry you're having problems with the sound. Please contact us at support@loudcrow.com so we can assist you with the issue.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2018-06-15*

This app has no sound. I can’t find any way to turn on the sound. I am super bummed as I think my son would have really liked it. I am going to be asking for a refund.

**Developer response:** Hi Bouldermom2016, sorry you're having problems with the sound. Please contact us at support@loudcrow.com so we can assist you with the issue

### 1/5 — No sound

*2017-12-19, version 1.4*

Disappointing for sure. Bought all books in this app and one 1 works with no tech support or person to contact to fix. Super bummed and for $11.99 I’m irritated!

### 1/5 — App Needs to be Updated

*2017-04-03, version 1.3*

Please update this app. I just paid for the bundle, but there is no sound because the app needs to be updated. You shouldn't offer this app anymore if it's not going to work fully! I want a refund. 😡

### 1/5 — Keep crashing

*2013-09-18, version 1.3*

It keeps crashing after the app starts. Please fix that.

### 1/5 — Mrs

*2012-05-15, version 1.1*

### 5/5 — Interactive Book for Children of all ages

*2023-09-28*

The Boynton books are a staple in our home. This app has the full book and has added animation to make it even more fun!
It can read to you, or you can read it yourself with or without background music and animation sounds. When in read to self, clicking on a word says the word out loud.

### 5/5 — Fun and Funny

*2020-04-22*

Love the original book and the app is so well designed to add to all the silliness.  Your kids will love it!

### 5/5 — So cute!!!!

*2019-07-29, version 1.4*

I think it is so cute I like the book the turkey was funny
So funny I love this book I also love the going to bed book!
😻🦄🐧🐦🐤😽🤩

### 5/5 — So Fun!

*2018-10-05*

Two generations of Boynton fans and the app brings their favorite stories to silly life!

### 5/5 — But the bundle. Totally worth it!

*2018-07-16*

My husband and I both use these. iPhone 6 Plus and 7 plus. Never have issues except 1-2 times if my phone had been on vibrate when I went into app there wouldn’t be sound. Turn vibrate off, exit app and go back and it’s perfect. My children love these. 2 and 3 and both with autism. When my son, 2, is having meltdowns sometimes the sound of this book is all that’ll bring him out of it. Works on his fine motor skills too.

### 5/5 — Tap the oops!

*2018-04-09, version 1.3*

Favourite pages
1) clothes on hanger with the dresser - play around with it people. Lots of fun! Change shoe colour, shorts in drawer...
2) pool - haaaahaa!

### 5/5 — Excellent interactive story

*2018-01-05*

After our first read through my almost 2 year old asked, “again”?
The narrator’s unremarkable reading is perfect for letting the illustrations and animations tell the story. 
My older children enjoyed this board book when they were young and now the app will allow us all to enjoy it over and over together on-the-go when we need to pass time or cheer up a sad little one.

### 5/5 — An old favorite done well digitally

*2017-05-04, version 1.3*

Read it with my 20 month old. Lots of giggles. Kept his interest for 10 or 15 minutes.

### 5/5 — Fabulous interactive kid's book

*2016-09-07, version 1.3*

My grandkids love this book! They love discovering all of the things the book lets them do. They ask to "read" it every time they visit. Great book.

### 5/5 — Very fun!

*2016-05-27, version 1.3*

This app is very cute and interactive! I initially had trouble getting the sound to work but was able to fix it after visiting the developer website.
